Day 16
Location = DRAGON CLAN
Time = INFINITE
Mind = UNSTABLE
In front of you stand a door that will answer all the questions or behind it lies the doom. Suddenly all the joy or excitement died off and all it left behind is fear of the unknown. Your choices have brought you here at the door of the enemy. When you will enter all will change.
You and Carle look at the door something is stopping you. Is it fear of the unknown or worse. You see Mandeep walking to the door he places is hand on the door. The door turns red and you hear the door slowly opening.
Your mind gets flooded with though unable to think you follow Mandeep as he enters the door.
In front of you, You see stairs leading to a throne. But the throne is empty. Looking around you see nothing but darkened. Suddenly all you see is red. A beam of light enter your eye and you are forced to look around.
As you try to open your eyes you see Mandeep walking to the throne. You try to reach out to him. But now he is lost.
As your eyes adjust to the surrounding light is a standing army of humanoid figures with huge read my and creepy mouth. The army of figures surrounds you. You look at Mandeep all his emotions are gone.
What Morgan told you were correct Mandeep didn't save you. You saved him. He is the leader of the shadows.
Carle: Mandeep what is this?
You stay silent looking at the floor lost in your thoughts piecing the things together. The traitor was with you the whole time. The master of Carle who created the leader of the shadow. All you manage to say is
WHY?
Mandeep looks at you.
The silence is broken.
Mandeep: Carle, my servant come to my side now.
You feel betrayed you look at Carle.
Carle: NO! I WILL NOT.
Mandeep: Perhaps I have to erase you from existence then. How does that sound?
Carle is shocked at this. All things that happened slowly make sense now.
Carle: What was that upgrade you that you gave me?
Mandeep lets out menacing laughter.
Mandeep: Finally you noticed. Took you long enough to figure things out.
Carle: Answer my question what was that?
Mandeep: It was everything I could ask for and you agreed to it.
Mandeep: What do you want to hear self-destruct, painful death, mind control, sabotage anything. I say you must obey.
Mandeep: I can command you to fight him and you must obey.
Mandeep: Come join my side.
You: YOU MONSTER!
Mandeep: Monster and I. You are the one because of whom all this happened.
You: What did I do to you?
Mandeep: What you thought I will never recover my memories?
Mandeep: You were wrong. As you can see I gained them back a long time ago. All I wanted to obtain was knowledge.
TIME X XXX AGO
You are walking inside an abandoned station that you recently brought for cheap price from scrap collector. It's a huge station and the price of what you got it for is worth it. You explore the station.
You: WOW! This station has a lot of space in it. If I use it for transport I can earn a lot of money easily. Almost triple the amount that I paid for it.
You reach the command center of the station. It has everything that you need navigation, warp drive, weapon station, med station, and repair bay.
You: Maybe the repair bay is still functional. Even if it's not I can fix it and then repair this ship will be easy.
You check the repair station and are surprised to find it functional. With this, you can fix this station. You start the drones to repair the station. You wait for three days for the station to be repaired.
You: It's now good as new.
You enter the control panel and start the station.
You take the station for a test flight. As you escape the orbit all system is still operational. Then you notice on the left corner of your eye a blinking console.
You: What's with that console now?
You move to check it. You take a look at the console. It has an unknown language.
You: Which language is that now?
You notice a Map on the screen and an area is blinking.
You check the area but it shows the area between med bay and repair bay. But there is no room in between.
You: Maybe just a glitch.
Curiosity gets better for you. You follow the map and see a button you press it and a door opens.
You enter the room. It has a console in the middle of the room and behind it, you see a huge pod with machinery attached to it. Inside the pod, you see a body it has no skin, no face, and only one red eye in the middle of its head.
As you try to take a better look the red-eye glows and the thing wakes up. It looks at you and says
HELP
And then it closes its eye. You don't know what to do maybe you should bailout. But what if it actually needs help. What to do to help it or not?
I must help it. I am human and must help anyone who needs help.
You: What could go wrong?
You go to console. But are unable to understand the language. You see a hand scanner on the console screen.
You: Maybe put my hand on it?
You hesitate a bit but eventually place your hand on the console. The room light up and two small tentacles with eyes come out of the console and inject a needle into your hand.

RECREATION SUCCEED WITH ERRORS
The pod opens you see yourself exiting the pod.
You: What the hell?
You touch your face to check if you are you.
Your body double walks toward you.
It touches your head you see flashes but no clear image is formed.
You: What are you?
The body: I am Mandeep.
You: But you look just like me.
Mandeep: Interesting an intelligent life form.
You: Are you an alien?
Mandeep: No, I am the seeker.
You: Seeker of what?
Mandeep: Knowledge.
After that, you start to know more and more about Mandeep and his pursuit of knowledge his interest in knowing how things work was beyond you.
After some time all the knowledge you could provide ended. But his pursuit for it didn't.
That's when you thought you his language and about his station. You started to travel to a different universe. Traveling galaxies was possible but the universe was impossible and that something can do that made you curious.
You: What are you shadow people exactly?
Mandeep: Don't know that the reason I pursue the knowledge so that I will become all-knowing.
That when you noticed that his pursuit is so important for him.
You: There are more of you?
Mandeep: Not anymore. There was this big bang. It destroyed all of my people. The people forced me to leave. My people were peaceful beings. They kept to themselves seeking knowledge. Everyone had only one goal so all of us were united.
You: Sounds like a really peaceful world.
Mandeep: It was.
Then one day
Mandeep: Hey I found a way.
You: Way to what?
Mandeep: To gain knowledge possible.
You: How?
Mandeep: The big bang is what starts a universe right. By looking at it, we can know how our universe was created. So there must be a colossal bang. That created all these universes. If I can reverse it I can enter the other dimensions using the colossal bang itself or the data.
You: So you will run a simulation?
Mandeep: Unfortunately even with current technology. It will take an infinite number of years to simulate. By that time you will die.
You: So what then?
Mandeep: I must cause a chain reaction of big bangs that will cause a colossal bang.
You: What but that will kill everyone. Not just this universe but all the infinite others that exist.
Mandeep: But if we can reach the upper plain of existence we can change all of this and think about the infinite knowledge.
You: You can't do this. I will not let you. Killing this amount of people that are beyond crazy.
Mandeep: ok in return for helping me. I will give you immortality.
You got an idea that can save everyone. You agree to Mandeep's offer.
As Mandeep tells you to lie in the pod you push him into the pod and erase his memories and send him into hyper sleep.
After that, you decide that this knowledge you have gained should not be passed on so you decide to wipe your memories. As your memories are wiped you also forget about Mandeep after that you wake him up from his sleep in return he gives you immortality and removes your memories and sends you on different missions each time wiping your memories and then this lead to current events.
